Dylan Turns 4

Since Dylan's birthday was a Sunday, I gave him a candy lei to wear to church. He started eating it before we even got there and wore a half eaten one until we got to sacrament where it almost immediately came off so he could continue to eat it. Maybe the candy lei wasn't a great idea but it was his birthday.

A few days before his birthday, Dylan found his birthday gift (a bike) hidden in the guest room closet with both the closet and room door shut. Why he decided to go in there and then look in the closet is a mystery to me. He was so excited when he found it. He thought that Santa Clause had left it for him. He was really good and patient when I told him we bought it for him but he would have to wait a few more days before he could use it. On the day of his birthday we had a little party had Richard's parents house and we brought the bike with us. This is his first time getting to ride it around. (We are always forgetting his shoes.)

He had no idea what kind of theme he wanted for his birthday but he picked out this football pinata so we went with it. Unlike last year, he didn't mind hitting this pinata. To keep with the sports theme I made him a basketball cake. It may have been a little lopsided but from certain angles it looked perfect.
